not prepared to pay more than the £100 either as first time he sold them, they only went for £102 anyways.

 

[Jonesy]

i wouldnt, 1 of them almost has a str8 edge

 

[ben_r1]

When did you start selling drugs lol? Those are some proper G-Unit rims

I can see how it wouldnt loose air but i'd be dubious about it being repairable. How hard did he hit the kerb!?

 

[jase]

Never really been into standard lookings rims thouh Ben

 

[Ed...]

The wheel specialist wud have them looking brand new

 

[SnapMonkey]

I wouldn't bother myself, it looks like a 50p coin.

 

[RalphyBMW]

I don't think TWS straighten wheels, just refinish them, could be wrong though.

I wouldn't bother with those, that one looks really bad, almost cracked!

 

[jase]

I thought it was cracked, but he reckons it doesn't lose air.

 

[jase]

Could be worth buying just for the tyres though as seen another set that needs tyres.

 

[RalphyBMW]

Maybe, so long as they aren't bulging.

 

[Arran]

They are seriously blinging man! Wicked!

Don't like these at all, as previously said, they look like something a drug dealer from America has on his Escalade!

 

[jase]

Don't worry about them being blingy.
They would all need a refurb so they match the damaged one that will need a full refurb anyways, and would get a colour change to tone them down.

 

[Arran]

Has your Freelander got steel wheels then Jase?

 

[jase]

Nope. 16" alloys. 215x65x16 mich syncro tyres.
Was going to get some steelies for winter but it managed great with the standards on so going to get some big wheels for summer instead.

 

[Arran]

Have you posted any picture's of you Land Rover on here Jase? Could you source some Mk2 Freeloader wheels or are they mega dear? How about some series 2 Disco wheels? Or are they 16" too?

 

[Foxspeed]

wouldnt waste my money on them - cracked and bent/buckled rims and the tyres will have taken a fair bit of the damage

only worth their weight in scrap.....

No pics on here of the freebie.
Freebie 2 wheels are actually 5x108 same as the 197/200
Freebie 1's are 5x114
Disco wheels are completely different again and defenders have a huge centre bore.
They do hub adapters for Freebie 2 wheels to go on f1's but are £200

Lisa thinks I should keep the 16" fit Spacers(most people use 30mm on freebies) £150 a set of 4 and then fit a 2" lift kit £150.

 

[RalphyBMW]

Really a case of what are you trying to achieve?

If you fit a lift kit won't you want larger tyres?

 

[Paul]

What could they have done to buckle all four alloys!? Dropped it from 20ft?

What you need is some of these
